yeah, the text on their main landing page reads like a promo you see in a game; just a combination of fancy words lol

"Hono

Fast, Lightweight, Web-standards

Runs on any JavaScript runtime."

discuss

order

fast = fast routing / throughput

lightweight = small code size

web standards = not node apis (fetch, not http.createClient, etc.)

runs on any JS runtime = runs in deno/node/bun/workers/etc

But yes the project is meant to be read by someone already in the field.

The people who actually know how to use it.

Yes it seems like a fancy combo of words if you don't know what they mean, but that's true for anything.

This is untrue: it's possible to make things much more accessible than they are here.

You write for an audience. This project could have written a description that works for "most programmers with any background at all in web development." Instead they chose a much narrower audience. People are complaining about that choice.
